There is prioritization of these views as well, from most important to least important. My personal value is life and humanity. I cannot choose who to cut out. That is not my decision. Therefore, we will probably draw sticks. Some random way of choosing. For who is to say that one's life is more valuable, more important than the other. Your life is equal to his or her life.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('4031','Rico'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('4031','Rico','In these kinds of questions, one\'s answer depends on their views of society and the values they have.

Thank you very much for sharing your answers, I appreciate each of them. Just like what happened in class when we first tackled this scenario, the great majority chose to ditch the old 65-year old man, because just like gbert, Neil, Rob, and Aurea pointed out, the old man is old and has no particular field of specialty to contribute in the restoration of the Earth. The second most popular choice in our class was getting rid of the priest, because he is a priest. He has this vow of celibacy and so he's practicaly useless in procreation. A classmate of mine stressed, as cyberpunk also did, that it an opportunity to get rid of religion. I sort of agree with them on this point. However, Jam and I have the same answers. I chose to eliminate the pregnant woman for the following reasons: She has special needs and would consume more resources because she's practically two persons in one body. Once her baby is born, there will be ten persons in the tunnel and even if someone else gets booted out instead, that time would be inappropriate to take care and nourish a child to adulthood. The role of procreation could be passed on the other younger females in the group, you have a very young female student for that task. Of course none of our asnwers could be wrong, it is our opinions and we are entitled to it. Honestly, this has been fun and I would certainly do this again next time. As for the rewards, I've decided to feature each and everyone of you in the Philippine Blog Carnival's Pinoy Blogger Spotlight for a week each. Your blogs would be reviewed and promoted in a special edition of the Philippine Blog Carnival which would return later on this August. I'll just keep everyone posted.
